I'd like to post a follow-up question: How much can people expect to pay for this? I'd like the venders weigh in here. Traditional EMRs are around $10,000-$15,000 per physician. Are you all planning on per-site fees? per-doctor fees? Hourly fees? What is the bottom line. This will depend, of course, on what features are wanted. But we at least need to have some ballpark numbers.
And I'm not looking for the $100,000 that I was quoted when I first joined this group. :-) Kevin --- Nancy Anthracite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As I have said many times before to every > experienced computer professional I > have talked to, just because you are brilliant and > experienced does not mean > much because it is "Like nothing you have ever done > before."
